Chaumes Cheese

Chaumes Cheese is a semi-soft cheese on the brie-camembert spectrum.  This one has a bright orange rind and a pale white interior.  The bouquet is fragrant without being overpowering and the flavour is just delicious. As Mrs. ISMOTU put it " it's got that creamy brie-ness without being too bland."  So yes, the flavour is a bit stronger than your typical brie but nothing that should put off cheese neophytes. This was another of my much delayed reviews. So much so that I went out and bought some more just to properly refresh my memory.  And I was glad I did.

Chaumes comes from France and is made by Ile de France Gourmet Cheese.
